Thick smoke from a commercial unit fire caused significant traffic jams on the North Circular Road, as fire crews worked to control the blaze.
Around 40 firefighters and six fire engines were dispatched to tackle the fire at an industrial estate in Cricklewood, which was brought under control in three hours.
Smoke was reported to be heavy enough to affect traffic on the North Circular, causing closures and queuing from Staples Corner to the A1 Barnet by-pass.
London Fire Brigade utilized one of their 32-metre turntable ladders to effectively battle the flames from an elevated position, contributing to quickly containing the fire.
